Definition
Important

Stops debugging, terminating, or detaching from all attached processes.
void Stop(bool WaitForDesignMode = true);
[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(8)]
public void Stop (bool WaitForDesignMode = true);
[<System.Runtime.InteropServices.DispId(8)>]
abstract member Stop : bool -> unit
Public Sub Stop (Optional WaitForDesignMode As Boolean = true)
Parameters
- WaitForDesignMode
- Boolean
Set to true
if the debugging session should stop only when it reaches design mode. Set to false
if you intend to stop debugging, but you need to perform other tasks in the macro even before the debugger enters Design mode.

Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the Stop method.
public static void Stop(DTE dte)
{
EnvDTE.Debugger debugger = (EnvDTE.Debugger)dte.Debugger;
debugger.Stop(true);
}
Shared Sub Stop(ByRef dte As EnvDTE.DTE)
dte.Debugger. Stop(True)
End Sub
' WaitForDesignMode is true
Sub StopDebuggingAndNotifySync
DTE.Debugger.Stop(True)
MsgBox("Debugger has been stopped, for sure.")
End Sub
' WaitForDesignMode is false
Sub StopDebuggingAndNotifyAsync
DTE.Debugger.Stop(False)
' Depending on how long it takes to stop debugging,
' the environment may or may not yet be in Design mode.
If DTE.Debugger.CurrentMode <> dbgDebugMode.dbgDesignMode
MsgBox("Debugger still stopping")
Else
MsgBox("Debugger has been stopped")
End If
End Sub
Note
Macros are run on the main thread of Visual Studio. The following code does not work and the macro loops indefinitely, because the integrated development environment (IDE) never has a chance to enter Design mode. Instead, you should resort to a separate thread or pooling mechanism.
' Bad Code Example.
Sub StopDebuggingAndWaitForDesign
DTE.Debugger.Stop(False)
While DTE.Debugger.CurrentMode <> dbgDebugMode.dbgDesignMode
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50)
End While
MsgBox("Debugger has been stopped")
End Sub
Remarks
Stop stops debugging and terminates the attached process. See Stopping Execution for more information.
